There's quite a backstory to this new collection, I don't know how personal I want to get but I'll go ahead and touch on a few things. This collection was inspired by the ups and downs of being in love.
"Como La Flor" - I decided to go with this song by Selena Quintanilla because of lyrics like "Como la flor, Con tanto amor, Me diste tú, se marchitó, Me marcho hoy, yo sé perder". This song is about a woman who is suffering after a breakup and compares love to a flower that has dried up and died. But at the end of the day, she hopes someone is able to give her ex what he is looking for, whatever that may be.
"Frida Kahlo" - I previously made a Frida Kahlo t-shirt but I love her story so much I had to do it again. As most people know, her relationship with Diego Rivera was a tumultuous one filled with lust, infidelities, but most of all Love. This is a topic I want to expand on with future pieces and I already have a title for it... "La Historia de Un Amór"
"SEXSI" - We all want to feel this way , no further explanation needed ;-)
To tie the ribbon on this blog I'd like to end it with this beautiful poem by Sandra Cisneros titled:
"You Called Me Corazón"
That was enough
for me to forgive you.
To spirit a tiger
from its cell.
Called me corazón
in that instant before
I let go the phone
back to its cradle.
Your voice small.
Heat of your eyes,
how I would’ve placed
my mouth on each.
Said corazón
and the word blazed
like a branch of jacaranda.
